    PRS Talk What happend to Outback PRC?

    There's a place called Triple C in Cresson that I assume used to be Outback. It has a 2,000 yard range. They list on their calendar "long range match," but I don't know if that is PRS. I work 5 minutes from there, but didn't know it existed until a month ago. I am still getting set up for PRS...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    Dang. Those National Wildlife folks are party poopers. I get the ban on motorized stuff, but carts?

    It was foot-powered. The bicycle wheels just made it like a very large hand-truck.

    Range Report Wind Studies

    I found the kite flying one decently infomative, bit the meteorological lecture one not so much. But then again, it dealt with mountains mostly, and there are none near me, so someone in a mountainous region might get more out of it.

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    I agree. And it seems to me that the most important consideration would be having no POA shift.

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    Sounds like you might have a good idea. What colors would you be looking for or wanting to weed out? Are you envisioning using it for competition, hunting, both?

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    In my opinion the most important aspect of a muzzle brake is reducing muzzle movement, followed very closely by a reduction in recoil. A muzzle that does not move not only allows for faster follow-up shots, but allows your optics to stay on target so you can see where your shot impacted. If you...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    If I use someone else to manufacture, they will already have machines that are running and paid off. Sure, they will take a part of the profit. Say company X sells a $100 brake and makes $50 profit on each brake they sell. If I sold a $100 brake and made $30 on each brake I sold (because my...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    Why would they be able to do it cheaper? And if they are continuing to make brakes, wouldn't that indicate that they are making a profit? I would love to find a brand new market that no one else is in, but that is a unicorn hunt. Most companies break into an existing market, and do so by...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    I don't have a garage, so the cost of some sort of shop space would have to be factored in. I think I would do better to start out with someone manufacturing for me. Think of them as a business partner that owns machines. Yes, they get a cut of the profit, but they are also bringing a lot of...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    I fully expect that. I am a patient man. Are you speaking from personal experience?

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    I am a machinist. I did community college while I was working. I have no debt whatsoever, but I do have two associates degrees in machine technology and music. And my parents did not pay for the college. I got scholorships and got on with a company that would pay for what I had left of the...

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    Yeah, certainly does take a lot of trial and error to make most things. I am still working on an initial design, but if I can get one that at least looks good on paper I plan on buying/making test equipment to objectively find out what works. So many companies make muzzle brakes based on "that...

    Cutting 6.5 CM barrel, what length?

    JRAM, what side of DFW? I'm in Midlothian.

    "I wish they made a ______?"

    Yeah, that's an ok solution, but I would like something with wheels a lot better. And $122.35 is more than I would want to pay for what boils down to a sheet of nylon and some rope.
